Spinal arachnoid cysts are rare entities, most of which have a congenital or spontaneous etiology. Secondary cases are infrequent and can constitute a cause of neurological deterioration several months or years after spinal trauma. We present the case of a male patient with traumatic spinal arachnoid cyst, together with a review of the cases published to date. Finally, we explain the different surgical options for this pathology relating them to the physiopathological theories that try to explain the origin of these lesions.
